ONLY ANSWER 3 AND USE OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CONTEXT
Suppose we have two sources of light, a deep red one with wavelength 700 nm, and a violet one with wavelength 400 nm. Both produce the same optical power, delivering 1 milliwatt (10−310−3 watts) of energy per second per square centimeter to a metal target with an area of 1cm2 located 1 meter from the sources.
1. Which color would deliver more photons each second?
All the photoelectrons that are produced from the light are presumed to be collected by another electrode and we determine the current in amperes using a circuit and an "ammeter", that is, some device that can give a precise quantitative measure of the current. Such a device might use the magnetic field generated by the current, or the voltage produced when the current flows across a resistance.
2. If the work function of the surface is 2 eV, will we see a current with both colors, one color, or neither one? If so, how much (in amperes), or if not, explain.
3. If we now…

1. How can a sheet of copper be made to emit electrons thermionically?
2. Why do electrons cross the gap in a vacuum tube?
3. Besides tungsten, what other materials are used for cathodes in vacuum tubes?
4. What is the advantage of directly heated cathodes?
Please answer the following question :1. After being scattered by an electron, the wavelength of the x-ray changes in what way? Does that scattered x-ray gain or lose energy? Is this what classical electromagnetic theory predicts?
2. What would the shapes of the graphs be if the classical explanation was the correct explanation?
3. Examine the graph at the lower right. Are the deflected x-rays uniformly distributed over all the scattering angles? Does the shape of that distribution change for different incoming x-ray energies?

- Could you please solve part 3 of this question: Now consider the electron in a material with a gap of 5 eV. Because of the gap, in order to increase the electron's momentum, the electric field must increase the electron's energy by 5 eV, which is impossible without applying ultraviolet light. In this case, what is the electron's velocity after 10-5 s in the electric field? https://www.bartleby.com/questions-and-answers/consider-an-electron-with-initial-velocity-1-ms-in-the-x-direction.-we-turn-on-an-electric-field-of-/e8d9dafc-d854-4bd1-9133-eda651d0c30aarrow_forwardMillikan adjusted the potential difference between the electrodes of this experiment by sliding a wire up and down a high-resistance wire that was connected to a battery.
